To help you get your home sparkling clean and keep it that way until New Year’s Day, here are six of our top cleaning tips for the holiday season.
1. Deep clean each room at the start of the month, working from room to room as you decorate. Wipe down walls, shampoo the carpets and dust those tricky little spots you usually ignore. Once you’ve achieved a blank, shiny slate, all you have to worry about is future mess.
Check out the Sauber Pro Carpet Shampooer for a deep, pet-friendly carpet clean.
2. Organise storage spaces to avoid the build-up of clutter in communal areas. Ensure there’s enough room in the panty for any extra food you’ll be buying as well as designated spots for guests to keep their belongings.
3. Stock up on cleaning supplies so you don’t run out midway through the holidays. Basic supplies like wipes, paper towel, dishwashing liquid and surface spray are in high demand while entertaining, so ensure you have enough on hand to deal with any spills or accidents.
Check out Enzyme Wizard's wide range of biodegradable cleaning solutions, including surface sanitisers, floor cleaners, stain removers and more.
4. Get good at spot cleaning so mess never gets out of hand. Having a stick or hand vacuum at the ready will make it easy to deal with spills as they happen or do a quick whip around communal areas right before guests arrive.
Check out the Tineco Pure One S12 Platinum Stick Vacuum for a versatile 2-in-1 cleaner that easily transforms into a hand vacuum.
5. Stay on top of the dishes, especially if you’re hosting over multiple meals. The more people you’re feeding, the faster dishes can pile up by the sink. Save yourself a bit of stress by washing them as soon as possible or putting them in the dishwasher as soon as you’re done with them.
6. Get the whole family involved to make the job easier on everybody. Many hands make light work, and having multiple people staying on top of mess will mean more time for celebrating in the long run.
